  1. WHEN is President Biden going to sign an Executive Order for the $200 monthly increase for people on SSI and SSDI that he promised to increase?! It seems like everyone is being considered for extra income (even the minimum wage which has Nothing to do with Covid), but they are leaving out the Poorest people of all, the people that live at 125 % below the poverty level!! SSI and SSDI people cannot even afford food or medications that we need. We need our monthly income increased also.!!

  2. Janet Yellen recieved a million dollars from Citadel. She is in their pocket and leading the fight against retail. Do not let this happen. Contact every political representative you have and demand an end to this disgusting corruption.

  3. WE NEED RESCUE PLAN NOW. REPUBLICANS ARE CHEAP IT'S RIDICULOUS. 1.9 TRILLION IS NOTHING WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER 2.4 TRILLION NOW THAT'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY. WE ARE NOT CHEAP VOTER'S "ACT BIG NOW"

  4. The only reason they push a
    relief package is to STEAL MONEY.
    It takes One Day, One Page to send $600.
    Greedy politicians worked 8 months on scams
    to profit themselves via the relief package.

  5. “Act big, ” so where does the money come from?
    She is proposing a ponzie scheme, let the future generation(s) pay for our luxury today.

  6. Why are the banks like Bank of America charging so much interest rates at this time on credit cards 18.9 to 19% interest. It doesn't make sense. This definitely needs to be looked into.

  7. Systemic Racism within Banking and Credit systems, overall limits the USA GDP full potential within the international markets, this is very unfavorable in Central Banking where at times overall, the bottom line is what matters at the end of the day. Bridging the wealth gap amongst black's and whites actually makes the "Central Banking a viable component to economic recovery and favorable when currency is being printed at -0.25% interest rates, the Treasury should take advantage of these rate's offered by the Central Banker's to repair and provide reparation banking to blacks to bridge the wealth gap which is overall hurting Americas international GDP%'s. Banking can be very lucrative when "Access To Capital" becomes systemically accessible to all, by limiting wealth gap banking practices. "Wealth Gap Banking Practices" should be FEDERALLY BANNED. FDIC insurance should be revoked to all USA financial institutions that does not participate in Black Reparation Banking Act of 2020. Currently "renamed" The FREEDMAN'S BANK TREASURY BUILDING, may or may not be able to implement Reparation Banking to blacks directly, without involving FDIC insured banks that does not want to participate in Reparation Banking for blacks and small black owned business applicant's

  8. Trump, to his credit, allowed Democrats to run things as they wished. If the Dems wanted to lock down a state or city, I know of no case where Trump interfered. If you know of one, please mention it and be specific. For those who care, I'm registered non partisan. Yes, I vote issues and not for a particular party.

  9. Yellen is highly qualified and she has an excellent track record. That being said, she already served as Fed Chairwomen. The big problem is too many incumbents. Washington needs new people with a fresh view. It would be nice to see a non incumbent to get a chance at this office. It's not a major thing. It simply would be nice to see.

  10. She’s one smart Gramma…I’ve always thought that grandmothers should run the world,it would be a much nicer place.

  11. Very solid choice: As in cast concrete buttress, enabling the banksters. Keeping the revolving "employment" door open between banking and government regulation agencies and rating agencies.

  12. ⭐️🇺🇸🦅TRUMP2024🦅🇺🇸⭐️

  13. So why is it so long to give money to people. It’s easy to say your going to do something. Out of sight out of mind. I bet you’ll see protesters bc your looking like a government that says, let them eat cake !!!! All of you have stupid arguments as though people can wait . Quit talking and work.

  14. We all need come together and pray 🙏🏿
